Answer:

The World Health Organization has defined life skills as, "the abilities for

adaptive and positive behaviour that enable individuals to deal effectively with

the demands and challenges of everyday life".

UNICEF defines life skills as “a behaviour change or behaviour development

approach designed to address a balance of three areas: knowledge, attitude and

skills”. The UNICEF definition is based on research evidence that suggests that shifts

in risk behaviour are unlikely if knowledge, attitudinal and skills based competency

are not addressed.

Life skills are essentially those abilities that help promote mental well-being and

competence in young people as they face the realities of life. Most development

professionals agree that life skills are generally applied in the context of health and

social events. They can be utilized in many content areas: prevention of drug use,

sexual violence, teenage pregnancy, HIV/AIDS prevention and suicide prevention.

The definition extends into consumer education, environmental education, peace

education or education for development, livelihood and income generation, among

others. In short, life skills empower young people to take positive action to protect

themselves and promote health and positive social relations
